Comment Conroy aint no conservative (Score 1) 516

Stephen Rooster Conroy certainly is anything but a conservative. The current Australian Federal Government is run by the Australian Labor Party, generally a centre-left party. After running a campaign in the 2007 Federal Election against the socially & fiscally conservative Howard Government, Kevin Rudd (now Prime Minister) modelled himself as a mini-Howard trying to convince voters he was a safe choice as he also was a "fiscal conservative". This couldn't by further from the truth. From the immigration debacle, industry "picking winners" through the to most recent self made disaster with the the Australian financial system - this government, and Stephen Conroy, are anything but conservative.

Whether you are conservative or progressive is fine, but let's not call a rooster a swan.
